I stand looking in the mirror. I'm wearing a navy blue dress, my long hair falling down my back. I run my fingers over the mark that Patrick has given me and recall all that happened yesterday. It was a magical day and I feel more connected to Patrick than before. We can now mind link and I can't help but wish that this had happened the night of my birthday, before I ended up in the claws of the Banshee. After everything that has happened, we decided it would be best for Patrick and I to share a room. Last night was the best sleep I've ever had and waking up next to Patrick was pretty nice too. It's nearly time for the meeting with Joseph and I'm equally excited as I am nervous. I hope he can tell me more about my parents, but I still know that either way, I will have to return to Kylemore
